Book Overview

Drawing on research from a wide range of disciplines as well as history - archaeology, social sciences, economics, science, religion and literature - this is a comprehensive history of Scotland's peopled past from the scarcely documented Neolithic period to the parliament of 2000. Each chapter goes beyond the stories of kings, bishops and battles, bringing to life the history of the material environment, family and community and the mass of the Scottish people.
